Tried re-installs sudo apt-get install --reinstall bluez bluez-alsa bluez-cups bluez-gstreamer bluez-utils sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgnome-bluetooth8 pulseaudio-module-bluetooth
No luck. ------------------------ Tried backing up /var/lib/bluetooth/, deleting its contents, re-starting. Then I paired with my phone, apparently successfully. The phone does *not* appear in the gnome-bluetooth applet pop-down menu, as it did before. It does appear in the mangled Browse Files dialog, as I described in the posting yesterday. Attempted to Browse, as in that posting, and the bluetooth-applet segfaulted, as before. So it's not the config files, and it's not the /var/lib files. ------------------------ Oh. lsusb on the Samsung laptop shows Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0a5c:2101 Broadcom Corp.
